Number Of Witches Rises Dramatically Across U.S. As Millennials Reject Christianity

Witchcraft is something that we should all learn to recognize, as more of these weak people are getting involved in dark magic, and casting spells just because they can, and their "feels," and all that.
Regardless, learning to recognize the signs could help you avoid unwanted sorcery in your life; as well as, who to stay away from. They are infiltrating the churches.

With witchcraft on the rise, again, we will be having more and more demon possessed people, as well as a flood gate of demon/evil spirit oppression in the world.
Hope everyone has a safe and happy Halloween
Those are what I call "Barnes and Novle witches", becasue they get everything they think they "know" from books written by other wannbe witches. it's all based in Gardnerian "witchcraft", which is not even a real thing - it was invented by Gerald Gardner. It's sort of like modern day "Druidism" - just made up bull-crap based on nothing but fantasy.
They tinker and dabble around with things they know nothing of, and are mostly a danger only to themselves.
I had a step-daughter that was one of them. Her and her gaggle of friends would bring "things" into the house, things that I'd then have to get rid of for them. I've seen things from that experience that most folks would not believe - there was one thing that I saw twice in the house. Well, once inside the house and once just outside the house. It was about 8 feet tall and glided rather than walked. It was dressed in a long, hooded black robe with red trim. Another time, "something" scratched runes on the hardwood floor right in from of a dog crate where one of my more irascible dogs usually slept. I never got the runes deciphered - they looked more like gibberish than words to me. We occasionally found human teeth just laying in the floor. Never did figure out where they came from. Once we came back home and all of the girls hair products were stacked up in the bathroom floor in a pyramid shape.
She opened what I believe was some sort of "portal" in the wall in a room in the attic once. I've got photos of that somewhere, but seriously doubt it would be a good idea to post them.
Anyhow, they'd bring that stuff in, and I'd get rid of it before it could do any harm... until I got tired of it. About a couple of months before I left, I just stopped getting rid of it. There was no use - they'd just drag that stuff right back in, so I finally let it have them and left. If they couldn't listen to what I told them, then they could learn the hard way as far as I was concerned. Play with fire, you'll eventually get burned, and I was damned toired of hauling their fat out of the ashes just to have them do it all over again.
I don't know what happened to them after that, except I know my ex died about 6 years later. of what, I have no idea. What happened to the Barnes and Nobles Witches I've no clue.
My ex, her ma, was an actual, hereditary, witch. Going back generations, long before the Gardnerian fad. She never used it, and tried to tell the little B+N witch to not fiddle around with things she had no concept of, but you know how kids are.
Never heard of a Wiccan in a church. That's new to me. Most of 'em avoid churches like the plague, and still hold Christians culpable for the witch burnings 400 years ago. Talk about a long grudge!
But, with that said, I DO know of "witchcraft" being used in churches and among church-folk, just not the New Age Wiccan variety. Things like "speaking in tongues" and "prophecy" that are done in some churches are just modern-day old-timey witchcraft. I also know of chruch "healers" who use witchcraft and incantations to effect their "cures", but that's not Gardnerian or New Age wicca, either. Some will use Bible verses in their incantations.
But "wiccans", no. I can't imagine why a church would allow full-blooded modern-day "pagans" into their church... but if they do, I reckon they get what they have coming to them! All this modern lovey-dovey "inclusivity" is nice and all, but it damn sure has it's limits, and that REALLY ought to be one of them!
